One species of each of five genera of Harpellales—Gauthieromyces, Harpella, Legeriomyces, Stachylina and Zygopolaris—are reported for the first time from India. Gauthieromyces indicus is described from the hindguts of Baetis sp. nymphs. The new species is distinguished from the only other species, G. microsporus Lichtw., by having a greater number of and smaller generative cells per fertile branchlet with smaller trichospores that bear fine, entangled appendages. Occurrence of these fungi in India supports the observation that some genera and species of Trichomycetes are widespread but with apparent disjunct distributions.

Key words: gut fungi, Insecta, mycogeography, symbiosis, tropical
